People in Bingham say the area is "desperate" for a new recycling centre amid accusations that the county council has broken their promise to provide one. A review is still being carried out into recycling centres across Nottinghamshire after being commissioned a year ago.
The review aims to make sure that Nottinghamshire's recycling services are "fit for the future" and, as part of this, many of the councillors representing Rushcliffe say the area needs a new tip. The only recycling centre available for those in Rushcliffe is at West Bridgford, with the centre at Langar having been closed in 2015.
There were hopes that the county council's recycling centre review would recommend the building of a new tip in Cotgrave, where a preferred site had been identified. But during a meeting on March 15, a senior councillor said the Cotgrave site was now deemed "not appropriate".
